7 (14) Canadiens 11-5-1It's a pleasure to hand the Habs their season-high placing in the Power Rankings as I visit the NHL's favorite road stop this week. The Canadiens are on fire, but were humbled by the loss (once again) of top blueliner Andrei Markov.

If Andrei Markov is indeed out for an extended period with another knee injury, the Canadiens will need Alexandre Picard (plus-7 in nine games this year) to fill a regular role, especially now that Ryan O'Byrne is gone to Colorado. 

Key Injuries: D Andrei Markov (knee).
